 I Was Sold To Mali For 1.5 Million, They Lied To Me That I Will Work As A Pharmacist”- Jumoke George Daughter Adeola Speak Out

Renowned Nollywood actress Jumoke George, daughter Adeola has returned to Nigeria after a harrowing four-year ordeal in Mali, where she was trafficked under false pretenses and sold into forced labor.

Speaking in a video posted on Biola Adebayo’s YouTube channel, Adeola recounted how a trusted family friend deceived her with the promise of a legitimate job opportunity abroad. She was told that a woman in Mali, who had recently opened a pharmacy, was looking to employ someone with a basic understanding of medicine.

With hopes of building a better future and the assurance of good pay, Adeola accepted the offer without informing her mother or any family members—fearing they would oppose the move.

The journey to Mali took five days. Upon arrival, Adeola contacted the woman she had been told would employ her.

However, instead of the expected job offer, she was confronted with a shocking revelation: she had been sold for ₦1.5 million and was now considered the buyer’s property. The woman informed her that she would have to work off the supposed “debt” before regaining her freedom.
